Question

name one enzyme present in stomach and give its functions

Answer 1

The protein digesting enzyme pepsin is activated by exposure to hydrochloric acid inside the stomach. Chief cells, also found within the gastric pits of the stomach, produce two digestive enzymes: pepsinogen and gastric lipase. Pepsinogen is the precursor molecule of the very potent protein-digesting enzyme pepsin.

Answer 2

Answer:

mylase is defined as a digestive enzyme that breaks starch into small carbohydrate molecules. This enzyme is produced in two areas. Firstly, salivary glands in our mouth generate salivary amylase that starts the process of digestion by breaking down starch and converting into maltose and smaller carbohydrate. Cells in pancreas also produce a different type of amylase, known as pancreatic amylase that travels via a duct to reach the small intestine. Pancreatic amylase finishes digestion of carbohydrates, producing glucose.
